I Am An Immigrant

I have a harsh past but a bright future I have seen death upon my eyes and felt the need of nurture I have been surrounded by lies that have covered nothing but the truth I was blind and foolish throughout my ages of youth I am an immigrant With a dream to be successful But how can I accomplish this without it being stressful I don’t need pity nor to be disrespected Nor do I need the feeling of being neglected I have came a long way for a better future So expect me to go further I am an Immigrant In fear of being deported In fear of not having a future because of my status In fear of not being supported In fear of my future becoming a stratus What happened to “Freedom for All” Did we really just let that fall? This nation has a dark past Now, how much longer will it last? Looking for violence is not the answer Therefor, we can’t let it spread like cancer We must rise together and let our voices alter We must stand together so we don’t falter We must set an example so the mistakes that impact us today don’t impact our young loved ones tomorrow I am an immigrant with a dream A dream for peace A dream for a future And a dream for a better life.
